A global beverage group ran high-traffic digital platforms on a complex legacy network infrastructure with MPLS circuits and regional VPN solutions. Latency of 250 ms slowed field-sales operations and impaired business continuity. Modern attack vectors — from DDoS to bot attacks to targeted exploits — demanded significantly stronger application protection that w achievable with the fragmented regional solutions.
We consolidated application security, user access, and cloud networking onto a single connectivity cloud (Cloudflare) — replacing fragmented regional solutions. VPN infrastructure w with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). MPLS circuits were replaced by WAN-as-a-service (Magic WAN), and all public applications received unified WAF and DDoS protection.
WAF and DDoS protection for over 100 public applications across four countries. Full VPN-to-Zero-Trust-Access (ZTNA) migration for 3,000 users. MPLS replaced with WAN-as-a-service (Magic WAN) for all locations. Secure Web Gateway for controlled internet access. Rapid, hardware-free site onboarding.
Latency cut from 250 ms to 30–40 ms — noticeably faster field sales. Approximately 1 million malicious requests blocked per month. New sites go online in hours, not weeks. One central security and network control plane replaces fragmented regional solutions.
The key building blocks of this solution at a glance.
WAF & DDoS
Unified application protection for 100+ public apps across four countries with automatic threat detection.
Zero Trust Access (ZTNA)
Replacement of all VPN connections with identity-based, device-aware Zero Trust for 3,000 users.
Magic WAN
WAN-as-a-service replaces MPLS circuits — new sites go online without hardware in hours.
Secure Web Gateway
Controlled internet access with content filtering, malware protection, and policy enforcement.
